Standing up on a hammock, or on a motorcycle, both have their challenges, and both are more fun with a friend.



but I was a much younger man the last time I tried either.


:cool:

And hammocks are definitely more fun with a friend. ;)
 
Well I guess you could have a 300lber sitting behind you in your avatar but I’m pretty sure I remember warp telling me he’s seen you pulling one at 100 and he didn’t mention a passenger scared to death, but ok if Chris says so I’ve about flipped mine over at track taking off but that was just embarrassing because I didn’t just wheelie the thang I brung it down hard and just about got knocked out by tank but I’m a wrastler so I was able to gun it and get 80 in the 1/8
I don't need a passenger, wheelies on a Roadster are easy. Even bone stock she would stand up with no problem. I haven't ridden a Touring, so I don't know first hand. I just remember Chris saying that it's hard to get the traction you need because of the Touring being longer, and heavier. I would imagine the narrower back tire doesn't help either.
Kind of like my M109 and C109. The M109 was easy to wheelie. The C109 was easy with a passenger, but alone I needed a really good surface and it would still spin the tire until she got hot enough to stick. Not saying you can't, but it will definitely need the right surface.
 
I tried a 200 rear, no noticable difference, except it slowed the steering down a little, so I went back to a 180. For the record, I have never tried to do a wheelie deliberately, but the Rocket and Blackbird have sometimes accidentally lifted the front wheel. Possibly too much throttle? ;) And my old/65, with side car attached, no less, lol. Lotta torque for a 650, and a dry clutch, that was a real surprise.

Well go try, and let us know. :D
